Happy Monday! Let’s take care of business first: how adorable is my nephew in his Buzz Lightyear jammies?! I sent him a set of Woody and Buzz pajamas for his birthday last month (which still needs proper attention in the form of a blog posting), and my sister sent me pics of him that I [...]

I spent about half of my visit home in Seattle, where Dan and I were living before moving to Tokyo. I love the area and moving back after Japan is definitely a possibility! Anyway, the whole time I was in Seattle I was in the fabulous company of my best friend Kelsey. She just bought [...]
